Naruto 327

[RasenDori]

asumas not dying, guys. and we really need to stop stressing over death. its such a minor issue. just ask yourself what would the death of asuma do to further the story? and dont give me any BS like it would help develop shikamaru. hes a side character, and this is a different issue then chouji and neji whose deaths would have casued a major impact. if you want to be angry be angry about the real issue to be upset about which is:

WTF?! this fight meant nothing its just as bad if not as bad as itachi and kisame vs team kakashi and guy which just served as a purpose to save time for the villians. the point of this fight was to divert us from narutos training. the plot wasnt furthered. the akatsuki show up kill some people, look for naruto, dont get any leads and run off before they really doing anything at all. and konoha makes no progress in there attempt to thwart the akatsuki.

ok... my rant is is over, but i still dont feel that this arc is over yet.kishi like to make us think the villians are unbeatble by showcasing them against skilled ninja. we saw this with deidara vs gaara and the 4 sound vs team shizune. hidan and kakuzu may be leaving, but i doubt they are going far, since they have that hazy body techneque to seal the sanbi with. tsunade doesnt want them to leave the country so persuit may continue, and something may happen during the three days it will take them to seal the sanbi.

on a side note, i thing that team asuma was split up increase the capablity of the 20 brigades. asumas team may be strong ( i think people forget that konoha 11 or more then just mediocore ninja) but compared to all jounin teams they might be incapible of handling the task given to them with only one vet.

EDIT: because no ones seems to know who they are (i cant blame you they are forgetable) the charactes on ino and choujis team are raidou sporting a new hair color, and aoba.
